Brad, here is the info from my owner's manual, which is the second printing. I have an early model '02 XLT, and I see you are in the Great White North, so I don't know if this info will match your vehicle. If you need an owner's manual Dead Link Removed.

According to my owner's manual, there are no fuses for towing located in the fuse panel under the dash.

The Power Distribution Box under the hood contains a couple fuses related to towing. #13 is a 30A Maxi Cartridge Fuse Labeled "Trailer Tow Battery". #27 is a Mini Fuse labeled "Trailer Tow Lamps". I suspect #27 is the one you are looking for.

The Rear Relay Box & The Auxiliary Relay Box also contain items related to towing:

Hope this helps out!!
 






Thanks Big Rondo...It is raining cats and dogs right now, as soon as it lets off I will go and check and I will let yiu know how I made out.
Thanks again for your help

Brad:thumbsup:
 






No problem. Raining bad here too!! Was gonna wash and wax the Ex. That will have to wait. If you have a multimeter you can check the continuity on all the fuses in the power distribution box to find a blown one.
 






Where the rear and auxilary relay boxes? Is rear the one in the cargo area with a plastic door over it?
 






The 3rd picture describes location of the Rear Relay Box. The 4th picture shows the location of the Auxiliary Relay Box. I have 4 pictures with my other post. Please let me know if the pics aren't showing up. Thanks.
 






Yeah, they're showing up. I just wasn't looking at them lol
 












Bump for an update.
 






hey fellas...just arrived back in town, I messed with the fuses as best I could and came up with nothing? I,m going to get my buddy to test the conections for me and will update you as soon as I have something....Thanks Brad
 






Thanks for the update. Keep us posted
